Arm Exercises You Can Do At Home

​Push-ups ​

Start in a plank, hands slightly wide, fingers forward. Lower your chest by bending elbows, keeping a straight body. Push back up strongly. This builds chest, shoulder, and triceps strength effectively at home.

​Plank Shoulder Taps ​

Begin in a high plank position. Keep your hips stable and tap your right hand to your left shoulder. Return, then repeat with the opposite hand. This boosts shoulder, triceps, and core stability.

​Arm Circles ​

Stand tall with arms extended out to your sides at shoulder height. Make small circles forward, then gradually enlarge them. Repeat the same motion backward. This warms up and engages your entire shoulder and arm area.
